• Bordeaux Full-Day Médoc and Saint-Émilion Tour – Beautiful Vineyards, Poor Organization

  The booking process through TripAdvisor was smooth as always, but the meeting point instructions were confusing. It said “in front of the Monument aux Girondins,” which sounds clear — until you realize it’s located in Place des Quinconces, one of the largest squares in Europe. With such a massive area, they should’ve mentioned which side of the monument to meet at. The schedule also got off track. Two participants arrived half an hour late, leaving the rest of us — including my 8-year-old daughter — waiting in 9°C cold for nearly an hour. That’s something the company should’ve handled more firmly or compensated for. Our driver shared some information about the area and wines, but it was basic and not particularly engaging. Out of the three châteaux we visited, only the last winery guide stood out as genuinely knowledgeable and passionate. The others gave short, generic explanations that felt rehearsed. The transport was clean, comfortable, and punctual, with fair seating and a smooth drive through the countryside. The château visits themselves were well-organized, and the time spent at each stop was balanced — long enough to explore but never dragging. However, the lunch was disappointing — just snacks rather than a real meal, and there was no prior notice about dietary accommodations. For a full-day wine tour, that’s a major shortcoming. The group itself was pleasant, and the guide maintained a friendly tone, though the day felt packed with little personal space or downtime. Overall, while the scenery and final château visit were memorable, the poor meeting instructions, cold waiting period, and underwhelming lunch made the experience feel below expectations for the price. ⭐ 2.5 / 5

  Our guide was friendly and had reasonable knowledge of the wine industry. The first tasting, Chateau Dauzac, was what we would expect for an established Bordeaux winery producing a range of good wines with a very impressive setup. The 2nd, AMBE Tour Pourret, tasting was of very average wines from an inexperienced host. The final one a red, became our lunch wine, no further wines served with the lunch which was an acceptable platter shared by all. A request to purchase another glass of wine to have with lunch was rejected. The third winery, Chateau Larmande featured 2 red wines which were of good Bordeaux quality presented by a knowledgeable winemaker in a impressive winery. Finally we did a walk around the old town of St Emilion definitely worth the effort walking the hill and cobblestone streets.

  Thanks to our guide Gabriel it was a real excellent tour in a small group of 6 persons. Most of the places we visited were really interesting, we could learn a lot and taste several wines. The lunch in Chateau Baleau was also very good. It was very intensive day worth to have booked this tour. Thanks Gabriel!

  The full-day Médoc and Saint-Émilion wine tour was outstanding. Our guide was knowledgeable and engaging, the château visits and tastings were well chosen, and lunch was delicious with perfect wine pairings. Saint-Émilion was charming to explore, and the whole day felt seamless and well organized. Highly recommended!

  Lovely experience with some lovely people and a great guide, Fabien. He was extremely knowledgeable not only about the vineyards and wine making but history too, and very entertaining. We loved our day.

  This was the best day Mel our guide was excellent The were only 3 of us - my son and I and other guest. We learnt so much The wineries were really good and having been to Cite Du Vin in Bordeaux it was good to see. It was hot but lunch outside under the trees was perfect Not only did we learn from Mel we all chatted about our home towns and travels. Lots of information and laughs

  This was the best day. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with only one other participant.Mel our guide was fantastic and we all continually chatted learning so much And then each of us talking about our home towns (Melbourne and Texas). The wineries were so informative and having visited Cite De Vin in Bordeaux previously it was helpful
